User experience and user interface design is essential in our increasingly digital world. This certificate of achievement provides students with the fundamental skills and support to become an end-to-end UX/UI professional. You will learn the visual design and technical skills needed to solve big design challenges.
Based on demand and labor market info, we estimate that 20-30 students will complete this program annually. There is currently an undersupply of workers based on the labor market information, as well as a lack of similar programs within Solano County (it should be noted that many educational resources for UI/UX are done through for-profit, private institutions, or as certificates offered by educational programs at nearby UCs and States schools, UC Berkeley and UC Davis included) but these programs come with considerably higher costs.)
Based on the research of full time faculty member Rachel Smith, who originally began discussion of this in 2021 with the advisory committee for Digital Media Arts, (and in collaboration with faculty members from UC Davis in the design program), the following curriculum was developed for this certificate.
